Publicity Outlets

dosman gave me (Steve) a list of publicity outlets he’d compiled while hyping packetsniffers and FOOLS, so I ran with it and have been posting info about workshops and events on various sites and social media and TV and radio and so on. There’s no reason others can’t join in the fun, and in the interest of sharing the info, I created this document.

If you are running down the list to advertise something, weight the type of event you are submitting for the audience. The free forums and stuff is fine for smaller events. I'd use the radio spots and newpapers for workshops and fundraiser events too. However I wouldn't chase periodicals like Bloom Magazine for something like a workshop advertisement, but something larger like Makevention is fine. Just some food for thought for anyone other than sdc or dosman reading this page. Thanks!

Let’s go bloomington - Includes monthly printed calendar...get your stuff in early:
http://letsgo.terrorware.com/As of 4-2014 this calendar seems to be in a state of detrius, letsgobloomington.org expired and all contact email addresses went away with that. All events currently listed are recurring ones that go on forever. Might have some luck pinging them via facebook.

Magazines and Print

Herald Times classifiedsFree submission of events to their online calendar (non-profits only). Otherwise it would be a paid classified add or other advertisement:

They accept paid advertisements, we used them for Makevention 2013. No one reported seeing the ad in the survey. Unsure if they do smaller free spots for smaller events.

We had an article in there in 2011

Misc

Bloomington ArtsI'd like to reach out to artists that use technology, I think if we talked to the people running this site they may be interested. Apparently arranging events to be posted on their calendar should be done by contactingmarc@artlives.org
